Del Silencio is an evening procession that begins and ends at El Calvario.  In previous photos, you’ve seen El Calvario from outside the grounds.  This is the church entrance inside.  Flanking the entrance are two of the final Stations of the Cross.  These Centurions, while stern faced, are having a hard time looking scary.

The start of this procession comes complete with talking heads.  And below, the before and after of the carpet that was created just outside the church entrance.

A moment before the float emerges from the church.  This photo gives you some perspective of how deep the sanctuary is.  To give you a sense for how slow the processions move, the movement of the float from the front of the church to the entrance was about twelve minutes.

 

No procession is complete without the work of the diligent clean up crews.
